Good. Informative. Would definetly share it with my friends who are interested in photography. It can provide them with really useful tips.

Good work

Is the SLT better version than DSLR?

Good read. How do the pros do it is my question? The camera settings are always talked about but what about the tank setup? Should the tank be back lit? Most pro shots are done without any equipment of course but how do they make he ripple effect? With a fan? Should the room be dark, maybe curtains behind you to deflect any and all external light to avoid reflections? I could never find anything on the net or youtube for some reason. Comments, suggestions.... I would love to learn and I think that would be a great addition to this sticky.

now for the reflection, you should be able to use a circular polarizing filter. I am sure someone already mentioned that.

Well Reehan since you haven't gotten the riddle. You have the top side and the bottom side. The left and right side. The front side and the back side. That's six sides if you're keeping count. You also have the in side and the out side. Total of 8 sides. I rest my case.

I remember reading in one of my earlier threads that you found a retail shop in Riverview. Did you ever get a chance to make it by there? I was wondering where it was and what types of plants they sold.

No I did not divide by zero.

BUT If you still feel you really need to take nice pictures without reflections: you can build a small glass cube to insert small webcam in it and let is sink.

im sure everybody has an old webcam that you do not use
and 4 pcs of small square glass with some silicone requires no budget.
